Dönnhoff - Nahe Riesling Roxheimer Höllenpfad 2022 (sec)

"A Riesling with an intense herbal character, thanks to its proximity to the Nahe River!"
“The climate at Roxheimer Höllenpfad is cooler, and the grapes are generally harvested 4 to 5 days later than those at Niederhausen. The soil is red sandstone. The bouquet reveals plenty of freshness, minerality, and subtle notes of pears and quinces. The attack is fruity and slightly salty. A fine balance between charm and freshness! An inviting, invigorating, and lingering wine. It will be interesting to follow its evolution, but the real challenge may be resisting the urge to drink it right away!” (Yves Beck 2023)

About the wine:
A very striking nose of wild berries and herbs (tarragon!), with a hint of white peach. Very lively and vibrant, it offers a great mountain freshness with a slender, concentrated body; this wine features plenty of lime zest and a rich, velvety texture, leading to a dry and very energetic finish. Made from organically grown grapes certified by Fair'n Green. Ready to drink or suitable for aging.
